New place, new dreams…

In early November, we moved from Dublin, Ireland to Boston, MA and now the new relocation. 29th of March we moved to Irvine, California. It happened so suddenly that I still can not believe it. But now I see the palm trees through the window, not snow like in Boston. And the sun, and the wind is warm, … I really love it :)) And Pacific ocean and a rainbow on the waves … Can you see it?

All the time since movers have brought our things, I’m trying to build my new studio, but at the moment it looks more like a junk room. 🙂 But I do hope that in a week or two, I’ll be able to start working in it. For now, all that is left for me to do – it’s sketch of new jewelry designs and record ideas for new (or not) techniques to notebook…

 

Polka-Dot Necklace

Some time ago I created the community Polymer Clay Playground for Russian-speaking fans of polymer clay. Every week we make different kinds of beads on a given topic. One of those topic was the “polka-dots.” This is my version of the polka-dot beads and a necklace that I made of them.

Flower cane tutorial

Cindy Lietz has made a video-tutorial, based on the lesson of flower cane which I posted here . 

In full this video available for members only, but there is preview on two minutes where Cindy shows beads and cane with very nice teacup.
